Japanese

禁忌の魔法錠　眠りを解く　道化人形
からりと 撥条式の 物語が廻り出す─────

深き森の向こう
麗しの音誘うは　光の宮殿
窓越し覗き込む

其処には　妖精達が歌い踊る輪舞曲
淡く照らされる　金色円盤の上
夢　まほろば　そっと腕を伸ばした・・・・
煌めきに溶け　共に舞う　お伽話

くるくる　廻る廻る　時限仕掛けの命
軋み出す音が　終焉の刻を告げる
魔法は解け　また静寂の眠りへと・・・・
是にて　と或る人形の　お伽話

English

A forbidden magical lock dispelled an undisturbed sleep
Clack, this wind-up story started to turn ──────────

On the other side of the deep forest
The palace of the light, lured it with its elegant sound 
It peered in through the window 

Inside were fairies singing and dancing in a rondo
Atop a faintly lit golden platter
A dream, a glittering illusion, an old stained body
Affected and enveloped by the glimmer
It is a fairy-tale

Round and round, it spun and turned, a wound-up life with a time limit
The creaking sound told of the final hour
The magic dispels, back to its quiet sleep
It is a fairy-tale of a doll

Long Version

Japanese

遥か昔々 捨て去られた 道化人形 叢生の木々の麓 巡る 孤独な歳月 禁忌の魔法錠 閉ざされた眠りを解く からりと 撥条式の 物語が廻り出す───── 蘇る視界は 広がる闇 消えそうに仄かな響きを手繰り 歩き始めた 深き森の向こう 麗しの音誘うは 光の宮殿 ････窓越し覗き込む 其処には 妖精達が歌い踊る輪舞曲 淡く照らされる 金色円盤の上 夢 まほろば 古く煤けた躯 煌めきを受け 包まれた お伽話 繰り返し 繰り返し 連なる不思議な調べ 身動きさえ忘れて 眺め続けていた時 突然 目の前に聳え立つ荘厳な扉 微かに触れた途端 大きく放たれてゆく───── 一斉に途切れた 麗しの音 立ち尽くす姿 招く様に 再び奏で出す 其処には 妖精達が歌い踊る輪舞曲 淡く照らされる 金色円盤の上 夢 まほろば そっと腕を伸ばした････ 煌めきに溶け 共に舞う お伽話 くるくる 廻る廻る 時限仕掛けの命 軋み出す音が 終焉の刻を告げる 魔法は解け 独り････崩れ落ちてゆく････ ───また静寂の眠りへと････─── それでも 妖精達は歌い踊る輪舞曲 何一つ止まぬ 金色円盤の上 夢 まほろば 隅に転がる躯 是にて と或る人形の お伽話

English

Once upon a time An abandoned doll of a clown At the foot of thick growing trees Centuries of solitude came and went A forbidden magical lock Dispelled an undisturbed sleep Clack, this wind-up story started to turn ────────── Darkness spread in front of the revived sight It followed the faint echoes that were about to disappear, as it started to walk On the other side of the deep forest The palace of the light, lured it with its elegant sound ････ It peered in through the window Inside were fairies singing and dancing in a rondo Atop a faintly lit golden platter A dream, a glittering illusion, an old stained vody Affected and enveloped by the glimmer It is a fairy-tale Again and again, the mysterious melody was played It forgot to even move, while it kept its gaze All of a sudden, a majestic door towered before its eyes The instant it slightly touched the door, it gradually opened wide ────────── The elegant sound came to a halt all at once The figure stood stock-still, as the sound started to play again as if it was being invited in Inside were fairies singing and dancing in a rondo Atop a faintly lit golden platter A dream, a glittering illusion, it extended its arm softly ････ Melting in the glitter, as it danced together It is a fairy-tale Round and round, it spun and turned, a wound-up life with a time limit The creaking sound told of the final hour The magic dispels, all alone ････ it started to collapse and fall ････ ────── Back to its quiet sleep ････────── Still, the fairies sing and danced in a rondo Not a single thing stopped, atop the golden platter A dream, a glittering illusion, a body lying in the corner This marks the end It is a fairy-tale of a doll

Music Comment

This is a fairy tale about a certain clown doll

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem Official Website and pop'n music

jun

I wrote this song when I heard that pop'n 17's theme was "THE MOVIE".
Were many of you surprised by the unprecedented melody?

... Although that might seem to be the case, both NAOKI and jun are from the classical music field, so this "Fantasia" might be TЁЯRA's primal form.

To not lose TЁЯRA's belief "to keep it pop", how do we interweave classical and pop elements....
I remember it being very enjoyable during production, despite doing repeated trial and error.
Even if you've been away from classical music in a long time, you can't resist it in your blood.
I've wanted to write a song like this at least once, so I'm very happy that my wish came true.

And the story...... it contains a certain message.

The protagonist is a "certain clown doll".

Do you think it's pathetic?
Does it look happy?
Or are you curious about what happens afterwards?

... But, please don't think so deeply about it.

Everything is just a fairy tale, drawn by someone's hands.......

NAOKI MAEDA

"Fantasia" has a different taste to the music we're aiming for.
"Fantasia", written and composed by jun, is something I could never have created by myself, and I can't quite understand or absorb the different world which jun is aiming for, so this sound was created when I couldn't help but feel resentment within me.

It's natural that people don't have similar sensitivities.
Therefore, "collaborating" together might rightfully be very difficult.

I think "Fantasia" was born from the collision between individuals, with an unprecedented TЁЯRA sound.
If I need to express myself, I'm not obsessed with music genres such as rock, dance music, or classical. That's the spirit of Innovators.

My hope is that TЁЯRA will always continue to change.
Based on their identity "to always keep it pop".

beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem Original Soundtrack

This is a mysterious vocal dance track created by TЁЯRA, who were formed in 2002, consisting of the well-known BEMANI series sound producer NAOKI, and the singer-songwriter jun. This song was originally included in "pop'n music 17 THE MOVIE". Its story-like lyrics and bell timbres, which evoke the image of a novelistic world, are impressive.

Character Information

Even if you take my freedom, you can't take my thoughts. Round and round, the time trap of life.

kinoko

ROSEMARY is imprisoned in a castle, and has lost her freedom.
Even if everything is taken from her, there's something no one can ever take... that's "feelings".

＊　＊　＊

I created ROSEMARY as faithful as possible to the lyrics and jun's image.
For example, "The black ver. of Marie Antoinette".
Can you feel the strong passion behind her sad and fragile movements?

Will she suffer a tragic fate, or receive happiness...?
It's left in your hands.

※ The beverage she drinks in her LOSE animation is a "mysterious medicine".

Chart Production Information

isonin

I'm surprised that I could somehow play this song in jubeat plus before jubeat saucer!
It's good to study it before playing it in a game cabinet.
I consciously created the notecharts with Fantasia's pop'n charts in mind.
Actually, since I loved Fantasia in pop'n and played it many times, I couldn't get rid of those charts' image no matter what...
This is truly reflected in the EXTREME chart.
It perfectly recreates the pop'n EX chart hand movements in my own way... I wonder if I conveyed it...!
Perhaps it'd be good if at least 3 people in the world said "OK, it was conveyed!"...

Staff Comments

eimy

I was able to experience how the notecharts were completed~, and I felt jun's obsession. Creating charts seem interesting, but it also seems really difficult~.

masaru

Someone save the captive princess!

Ga~su~

ROSEMARY's sad face matches this song~.
In the end, ROSEMARY is...!?
Everyone, please clear it.

PON

This song has unique charts, and I couldn't quite clear it until I got used to it.
Even now, if I lose focus, my gauge drops.
It's scary!

Mameshiba

I like the alternate barrage in the interlude.
I want to sing at karaoke when I listen to it, but unfortunately it isn't there yet, so please play it in pop'n. I can't guarantee anything after that.
This time, there's a dark princess? A dark fairy tale?
No matter how cute something is, if you add "dark" to anything, it becomes a bit evil! (Nowadays is a bit evil...)
Dark kitten!
Dark chick!
Dark TELLY66!
... A black phone?
